“It makes sense for us to be able to redesign government so that it can deliver on the functions that the American people are looking for.” – July 8, 2013, The White House
“Today, I'm announcing a new national climate action plan, and I'm here to enlist your generation's help in keeping the United States of America a leader -- a global leader -- in the fight against climate change.” –June 25, 2013, Georgetown University
“The all-of-the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we’ve been in decades.”– January 28, 2014, State of the Union
The FY 2015 Request funds programs supporting:
• Energy and Science: Climate Action Plan with an all of the above energy strategy and Quadrennial Energy Review; maintaining global scientific leadership
• Nuclear Security: Nuclear Posture Review, Stockpile Stewardship and Management Plan; securing nuclear materials globally
• Management and Performance: Legal and moral obligations to clean up Cold War nuclear waste and to manage scarce dollars more effectively
The Department of Energy $27.9 Billion FY 2015 Budget Request Funds Presidential Priorities

complex cleanup missions by establishing an Under Secretary for Management and Performance with responsibility for the Office of Environmental Management and the DOE’s major support functions
• Strengthen departmental policy planning and systems analysis (EPSA)• Establish an enterprise‐wide approach to health, safety and security• Support diversity, small businesses, and Native Americans
Initiatives are ongoing to:• Rebuild the strategic partnership with the National Laboratories• Improve delivery and reduce the cost of human resource functions and IT services• Strengthens management through new cyber and incident management councils
Management and Performance
In 2015, the budget request for the Office of Environmental Management will:
• Continue progress on cleanup at 16 sites across the DOE complex
• Implement an effective approach to vitrifying Hanford tank waste
• Continue progress on environmental management of the former uranium enrichment facilities at Oak Ridge, Portsmouth, and Paducah
